(ANSAmed) - Rome, February 21 - European Parliament President
Antonio Tajani on Tuesday called for large-scale investments in
Africa to stop migrant flows at the source, saying millions of
asylum seekers could arrive otherwise.
"If the problem of Africa is not tackled - drought,
malnutrition - we will have millions and millions and Africans
pushing (to enter Europe) and dams and walls will not be
sufficient (to stop them)," Tajani told an ANSA Forum.
"We must invest billions and billions (in Africa)," he added.
